Liverpool target has admitted he was caught by surprise when Liverpool tried to sign him last summer and but did not find it difficult to reject the Reds. Arne Slot’s side had agreed to pay the Real Sociedad midfielder’s release clause, only for the Spain international to U-turn at the 11th hour and reject their advances. With Ryan Gravenberch instead shining as Liverpool’s number six this season, the Reds admittedly have few regrets regarding how their failed pursuit turned out. But now Zubimendi, whose future in San Sebastian remains the subject of speculation and scrutiny despite his decision to stay…
Despite their brilliant form in the Premier League and the Champions League, Liverpool need to strengthen their squad in some areas. Their over all squad is full of world class players but there are certain positions where improvements can be made and the January transfer window present an ideal opportunity to do that. Arne Slot’s side are at the top of the Premier League and the Champions League but the Dutch manager will have his eyes on some new players who can improve the level of the team and take the Reds closer to silverware. It seems that the left-back…
‘Tis the season. Christmas is just around the corner, and it could prove to be a huge festive period for Liverpool. The Reds will not need reminding of how they stand at the moment, with Arne Slot having guided them to the summit of the Premier League and Champions League standings, while he’s now just two games away from a Wembley final in the Carabao Cup. There’s still a long way to go though, and with Chelsea breathing down their necks at the moment, Christmas could well be a nervy time for Liverpool fans. If things go according to plan…
Liverpool will look to end a mini-two match Premier League “slump” that has seen them held to consecutive draws with Newcastle and Fulham. With those results, coupled with a surging Chelsea side, the Reds could very well be 2nd when they kickoff their meeting with Tottenham on Sunday. Granted, they would have a game in hand, but the narrative has certainly flipped. Arne Slot will be looking for a response from his side as this fixture usually puts on a great show no matter the standing of either club. There are some key players still out like Ibrahima Konate and…
Liverpool have had a world-class strikeforce for the best part of a decade, but a common theme throughout has been the absence of an out-and-out midfield playmaker. Oh sure, Phil Coutinho made a mockery of the Premier League during that snapshot period in 2017 when he sat behind Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Bobby Firmino, but then he forced his way out to Barcelona for a staggering £142m fee at that season’s midpoint, proving to be a watershed moment. Philippe Coutinho: PL Stats 17/18 Match Stats Matches (starts) 14 (13) Goals 7 Assists 6 Pass completion 79% Key passes 2.9…
Liverpool have plenty of reasons to be wary of a formidable Tottenham Hotspur side this Sunday, but over time, one player has proven to be a particular thorn in their side when these two teams clash. Son Heung-Min, without a doubt, thrives when playing against the Reds, boasting a scoring record that would unsettle any team. The South Korean forward seems to take particular delight in giving Liverpool and ex-manager Jurgen Klopp a hard time. Even with a new gaffer at the helm for Liverpool, Arne Slot is fully cognizant of the threat posed by Ange Postecoglu’s powerful, albeit inconsistent,…
Trent Alexander-Arnold has won all there is to win at Liverpool, and it now seems as though his main source of motivation is his desire to leave a legacy as an individual. “I think in 10, 15 years, if I’m spoken about as one of the best right-backs, or the best right-back, then that’s what I’m playing for now and using it as motivation,” the Liverpool star recently said. Soccer players often preach the importance of team success over solo accolades, but Alexander-Arnold is not afraid of saying how he truly feels; this is a player, after all, who said…
Michael Owen says he would be willing to speak to Trent Alexander-Arnold about a potential move to Real Madrid should the Liverpool star wish to gather his advice. The 45-year-old famously swapped Merseyside for Madrid himself in 2004. He only spent 12 months in Spain, having scored 16 times in 46 appearances amid a trophy-less season. Owen moved to Newcastle United in 2005 but has since revealed how he ultimately wanted a return to Liverpool, something which never came to fruition. The forward left the Magpies in 2009 to join Manchester United for three seasons before finishing his career at…
Postecoglou and Arne Slot will go head-to-head for the first time at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Sunday. Spurs will be looking to capitalize on their midweek win which seen them enter the Carabao Cup semi-finals, where Spurs will also face Liverpool. The Reds will be looking for a win against Spurs to secure their place at the top of the table. Spurs have a number of players sidelined through injury including first-choice keeper Guglielmo Vicario, Richarlison and Destiny Udogie, while Rodrigo Bentancur is serving a seven-match ban following comments he made about Son Heung-Min in the summer. Speaking to…
